Re: a true story

Was in a situation once. We were stranded, plenty of fish, and a small stove and no oil. Later in the evening took a nap and I was awaken by the smell of fish frying. To find out one of the guys found some vasaline in his tackle box. I'm glad I didn't eat it because those that did were shooting stuff out both ends.<br /><br />I think at least the hand cleaner would have cleaned their systems out!

Read the ingredients on that hand cleaner boys. Wife found out that you can be clean, lubricated and protected by spemicide while fixing your car/boat/plane. Got the same stuff in it as spermicided profalactics.

Re: a true story

The front end in my old jeep shot craps in the middle of the swamp at the deer camp years ago. Got a buddy to haul tools and all the parts I needed to make the repairs in by boat. He remembered everything but the bearing grease for the front wheel bearings. Had to use Butter Flavored Crisco out of the cook house to pack em with. Worked out pretty good with the exception of jeep smelling like toast when we got home.
